“Even if Uncle Qiao is not convenient to go with you, you can find someone else, or you can look for me. If I didn’t come out to run some errands and ran into you, did you intend to go back home by yourself?” Zhai Sheng’s expression turned grim.
“That’s right.” Qiao Dongliang nodded in agreement. “I am your dad. You should look for me.” Qiao Dongliang made known that Qiao Nan must look for him as a top priority.
Qiao Nan was his daughter. If she had any problems, the first person to look for must be her father. Why should she seek help from outsiders?
Qiao Dongliang did not realize that Zhai Sheng was interested in Qiao Nan. But as a man, he was very conscious that Qiao Nan was his daughter, and she should not go looking for others. He made this point clear to Zhai Sheng as well.
Qiao Nan was speechless under the attack of the two men. “Are you sure I should look for either of you?”
Yesterday was the Lunar New Year’s Eve, and Brother Zhai should have spent the time with his family. How could she, an outsider, ask him to send her home? What would other people think? It would not be good for their future relations.h.i.+p.
If she went looking for him, the elders in the Zhai family would have a bad impression of her.
In this way, she and Brother Zhai did not even have to try because their relations.h.i.+p would not work out at all.
As for her father, Qiao Nan was not willing to recall what happened last night.
Under that situation, if she went looking for her father, both her parents would blame her. Even if her father did not blame her, he would be very embarra.s.sed.
Among both of them who were closest to her, who could she look for to help her?
“…”
“…”
Zhai Sheng and Qiao Dongliang were lost for words. They knew that Qiao Nan was telling the truth.
“Zhai Sheng, it was the Lunar New Year’s Eve yesterday, but why didn’t you stay at home with your family? Why would you come out and run into Nan Nan?” Qiao Dongliang thought about it and noticed that something was not right. Since Nan Nan did not go looking for Zhai Sheng, how did they run into each other?
Who would come out in the middle of the night on the Lunar New Year’s Eve and walk in the cold?
“We finished the soy sauce, so I came out to buy soy sauce,” Zhai Sheng said without batting an eyelid. Qiao Nan almost spat at his words.
The soy sauce was finished? What a blatant lie Brother Zhai came up with.
Even if the Zhai family had not gotten ready for the Lunar New Year and had finished their soy sauce, there was no need for Brother Zhai to buy it himself. The aunt whom they hired to help with the ch.o.r.es was not on leave.
“I see. Did you delay your family’s reunion dinner because you sent Nan Nan back?” Qiao Nan almost burst out in laughter. Her father would actually believe in Zhai Sheng’s excuse. Previously, he was as perceptive as a detective, but he became slow-witted in the next instance.
